Salisbury Pride
While the Covid-19 pandemic may have made large-scale mass gatherings of thousands unfeasible this June, it has not diminished the spirit of Pride in the City of Salisbury. In a joint partnership, the City of Salisbury and Salisbury PFLAG, which organizes Salisbury Pride, are pleased to announce a full month of exciting events scheduled for Pride Month. All activities are open to the public and serve as community-building events purposed to increase visibility, celebrate diversity, strengthen alliances, and advance equality.
The calendar of events is diverse and designed to appeal to families, adults, and individuals of all ages. Highlights of the Pride Month schedule include the raising of the rainbow flag in Downtown Salisbury, a participatory public art project, the 5th anniversary of Pulse remembrance event, a panel discussion, a drag show, repainting Maryland’s only rainbow crosswalk and block party, and more. The goals of the schedule of Pride Month events are to celebrate the City of Salisbury’s commitment to increasing visibility of LGBTQ+ people, represent the wide diversity of people in our LGBTQ+ community here on the Shore, build and strengthen alliances with allies, acknowledge the heritage and legacy of LGBT+ people, and to work towards full equality and liberation.
